Improving wheat production in the CWANA region
Wheat is the principal staple food in most countries of the Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) region, accounting for 45% of the region’s per capita calorie intake with an average wheat consumption of about 200 ...
Wheat breeding for multiple stress tolerance at ICARDA: Achievements and prospects
Wheat is the principal food crop in Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) region with average consumption of 200 kg/capita/year. The productivity of wheat in the region is very low (2.5 t/ha) principally due to ...
Guidelines and Procedures for Safe Food and Forage Crops Germplasm Moverment
Within the framework of the CGIAR, ICARDA has the
world mandate for the improvement of barley, lentil and faba
bean. It also has a regional mandate for the improvement of
wheat (bread and durum), Kabuli chickpea and pasture ...
Development of SNP assays for hessian fly response genes, Hfr-1 and Hfr-2, for marker-assisted selection in wheat breeding
Background
The Hessian fly response genes, Hfr-1 and Hfr-2, have been reported to be significantly induced in a Hessian fly attack. Nothing is known about the allelic variants of these two genes in susceptible (S) and ...
Genetic dissection of Hessian fly resistance in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) using genome-wide association study in Morocco
Hessian fly (HF), Mayetiola destructor (Say), is an important wheat insect pest that annually results in significant production losses. In Morocco, this insect reduces wheat yields by 32–36 % during drought years. The ...
